I was completely underwhelmed by positive responses. So if anyone has anything good to say about Apex or IDE's in general, I'd love to hear it.

I don't intend to pollute comp.lang.ada with my opinions about the best IDE I have seen, since it has nothing to do with Ada. As for Apex in particular, please remember that this is Tri-Ada week and those with Apex experience are off determining whether the software used to design the Arch was safe :-).

I was completely underwhelmed by positive responses. So if anyone has anything good to say about Apex or IDE's in general, I'd love to hear it. I can't speak about Apex in particular (or, more accurately, I won't do so...), but as you are asking about IDE's in general, I would say it is very much dependent both on the preferences of the user and also the qualities of the IDE itself. Today on the Tri-Ada floor I was speaking with an individual who formerly used ActivAda and now uses ObjectAda. He told me that with ActivAda he would never use the IDE and did all of his work at the command line. With ObjectAda, he prefers to always use the IDE, which is modeled after MSVC++, and he never feels the need to resort to the command line. His application is over 400,000 lines of very complex code, and he finds the features of the Project Manager and Builder perfectly suitable to what he is doing. There are others who will refuse to use an IDE on general principles, and for those users it is very much dependent on personal preferences. There are other cases, to be sure, where a product's IDE just isn't up to the task. This has to be evaluated by the user. -- Dave Wood -- Product Manager, ObjectAda for Windows -- (formerly Product Manager for ActivAda...) -- Aonix - "Ada 95, free for the downloading." -- http://www.aonix.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
